My webroot (for horde) is /var/www/, i.e. horde is installed at  
/var/www/horde.

Is it possible that the horde_dir is set for the user that runs the  
Horde_Role script? In my case it was run by root, so root can execute  
the horde-alarms correctly. Is it recommended to run the  
horde-installation as the user who runs the webserver (in my case  
www-data)?

Running your command gives the following result:

www-data at xxxxxx:~$ pear config-set -c horde horde_dir /var/www/horde
config-set (horde_dir, /var/www/horde, user) failed, channel pear.horde.org
